Lyrics for Song: The Hog's-eye Man
Lyrics for Album: The Shanty Book, Part I
1. Oh the hog's-eye man is the man for me,
He were raised way down in Tennessee.
Oh hog's eye, oh.
Row the boat ashore for the hog's-eye.
Steady on a jig with a hog's-eye oh,
She wants the hog's-eye man.
2. Oh who's been here while I've been gone?
Some big buck nigger, with his sea boots on?
3. Oh bring me down my riding cane,
For I'm off to see my darling Jane.
4. Oh Jenny's in the garden a-picking peas,
And her golden hair's hanging down to her knees.
5. Oh a hog's-eye ship, and a hog's-eye crew,
And a hog's-eye mate, and a skipper too. |
